Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 454 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet a handful at a time, stirring constantly with tongs or a spatula to help it wilt evenly.
Continue adding spinach until all of it is in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is fully wilted and tender.
Season the spinach with salt and black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving bowl or plate.
Top the spinach with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately while warm.
